Oh my goodness...that is an absolutely breathtaking quilt. I love Jenny Haskins patterns. You have done an amazing job...beautiful.
Can't help with the quilting questions (do it all myself), but I agree...shell out the extra $s for this beauty.
Please post another picture once it's done so we can all drool a little more :)

Absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and stunning...there really isn't any words that say how incredible your quilt is!!! And I agree, do splurge on the quilting...to do anything else would be disrespectful of your time and effort. And I won't even suggest you send it on to me...how could you ever part with such a beauty??? :P
